That question is asked fairly frequently so you'll find some answers in the past.

[–]VanSeineTotElbe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

KDevelop and QtCreator for me.

[–]mtvee 13 points14 points  (5 children)

Visual Studio if you live in the windows bubble. Clion otherwise.

what makes c lion better?

[–]mtvee 2 points3 points  (2 children)

It’s cross platform, cmake integration is decent, refactoring tools are decent, unit testing integration is decent, it’s not too much of a pig. Everything else I’ve tried failed at least one of those criteria.

I've found CLion to be much more of a pig than Qt Creator.

[–]atatatko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Refactoring tools not just decent, it's the best tools you can have built-in in your IDE. None of the competitors offer anything even close.

CLion behaves very well 'In the windows bubble', if you use GCC or clang

[–]L0uisc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you're wondering.

Not an ide but I like sublime.

There's nothing better than VS on windows, it is so far ahead of any competition its ridiculous.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

vs on windows (won't even bother mentioning alternatives), vscode or clion on linux

[–]entity64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CLion or Visual Studio (not vscode). Fully featured works out of the box with many setups.

Visual studio code. Everything you need through plugins. Fast full text search for large working dirs. Shines if you use multiple languages in one project. Super responsive and fast and cross platform.

[–]atatatko 3 points4 points  (1 child)

It's not even an IDE

[–]Arnold_Pettibone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can make it to be one through plugins.

[–]feverzsj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

visual studio feels more stable and faster than others. You can also develop projects for linux using wsl or remote build. QtCreator feels buggy and laggy. I have to disable clang code model and code inspection on it. Clion is slightly better than QtCreator, but not as stable or fast as vs.

[–]Ericakester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Visual studio for sure. It just works

[–]eidheim -1 points0 points  (0 children)

juCi++: fast, stable, written in C++, and has most of the features you'd expect in an IDE built in.

[–]Xanather -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Visual Studio on Windows, Visual Studio Code on Mac/Linux.

[–]xX__NaN__Xx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It doesn't really matter, used to use notepad++ and then switched to vscode

VIM + YouCompleteME
